Whew! THAT was close! Donald Trump almost got away with decreasing our insanely enormous overseas presence in a country where we have 35 military bases, even though no country has threatened to invade!

Interesting read. Napa County wouldn't limit campaign contributions at all, and it's led to wine growers having their way with the Board. Now the state is going to impose limits and they want to do even better. That's great to hear! I appreciate... 1/4

Brad Wagenknecht's suggestion of a $2000 cap. It's hard to argue against that being a reasonable limit. And I'm thankful the Board is looking at stricter limits.

Did Diane Dillon REALLY legitimize election fraud by saying that it's okay...2/4

to exceed the contribution limits by loaning out of personal money and then allowing people to repay the amount over the limit after the election is over? This is criminal activity. Maybe the Napa County District Attorney's Office should be... 3/4

A few months ago, the American Canyon City Council passed an oppressive, and likely illegal, cannabis ordinance, with a promise to revisit the ordinance in 6 months. As that date approaches, I have been submitting a series of public comments aimed at improving the... 1/9 Image

allowing outdoor grows. Growing indoors requires an investment of several hundred dollars worth of grow lights (even if we ignore the illegal ventilation requirement). Not only is there an initial investment for grow lights, the electric bill is going to skyrocket. And so... 3/9 Image

A lot of people say there's no difference between Democrats and Republicans. A lot of people point out the differences on social policy- abortion, gun control, immigration. But when you only look at foreign and economic policy, our country hasn't changed for many decades.

That's because we live in an empire. We just don't say that part out loud.

Within the empire, it is tolerated to argue about abortion access or #LGBTQ equality, gun control and immigration, because those things don't affect the structure of empire. And when someone DOES ... 2/8
talk about changing the structure of empire, they are smeared as "Putin's puppet" or "Russian bot". One MSNBC host insinuated that Bernie Sanders would execute people in Central Park, if elected.

The empire propagandists on mainstream media report international stories... 3/8

I ran against @RepThompson twice. He is an anti-socialist and long time opponent of Medicare For All, but he was pressured to co-sponsor it by an activist campaign. As a progressive challenger, I couldn't tell his supporters that he didn't really support Medicare For All, that... Image
he has always opposed it but was pressured into it. All they saw was that he co-sponsored the bill. If any of them asked him, like I did, he just replied "I co-sponsored the bill." But there's no way he's going to vote for this. He just sent me a letter LAST WEEK saying...
that although he's a co-sponsor, he doesn't know how we pay for it. He's a grifter. And Congress is filled with Reps like this, who co-sponsor legislation like the Green New Deal to silence critics, but then just sit on it, doing nothing. These people need to be exposed to...

Like him or loathe him, @jimmy_dore came up with a pretty great plan to get a vote on #MedicareForAll before the end of the year, by asking members of the Progressive Caucus to withhold their vote for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker in 2021, as a... 1/5

negotiating tactic, unless she brings Medicare For All up for a vote. Supporters of this plan include the Hill's @krystalball , @BernieSanders former press secretary @briebriejoy and co-founder of the Justice Democrats @KyleKulinski . Please watch...2/5

the video to learn more about the plan, and contact some Progressive Caucus Members, especially if you're a constituent, and ask them to withhold their vote for Pelosi. Here are some members that SHOULD be friendly to Medicare For All:

Joe Biden had a meeting with some civil rights leaders (and excluded @Blklivesmatter ) a few days ago. As leaked audio reveals, when these leaders asked Joe to use an executive order to create a database of police misconduct, he gets angry and defensive, saying that they... 1/6
